About this item

In the past, Columbia Law School produced leaders like Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Now it produces window-smashing activists. When protestors at Columbia broke into a building and created illegal encampments, the student-led Columbia Law Review demanded that finals be canceled because of “distress.” Law schools used to teach students how to think critically, advance logical arguments, and respect opponents. Now, students steeped in cancel culture cannot tolerate disagreement and reject the validity of the rule of law itself. Rioting Ivy Leaguers are the same people who will soon: Be America’s judges, DAs, and prosecutors File and fight constitutional lawsuits Advise Fortune 500 companies Hire other left-wing diversity candidates to staff law firms and government offices Run for higher office with an agenda of only enforcing laws that suit left-wing whims In Lawless, Ilya Shapiro explains how we got here and what we can do about it. The problem is bigger than radical students and biased faculty—it’s the institutional weakness that has allowed DEI bureaucracies to flourish. Shapiro met the mob firsthand when he posted a controversial tweet that led to calls for his firing from Georgetown Law. A four-month investigation eventually cleared him on a technicality but declared that if he offended anyone in the future, he’d create a “hostile educational environment” and be subject to the inquisition again. Unable to do the job he was hired for, he resigned. This cannot continue. In Lawless, Shapiro reveals how the illiberal takeover of legal education threatens academic freedom and is transforming our country. Unless we stop it now, the consequences will be with us for decades.
